In “Educational Disobedience,” educationist, Dr. Annise Mabry, offers a compelling, unique and refreshing insight into how she helps her children overcome the limitations of what she terms “a broken education system,” in the State of Georgia. Her decision to homeschool them were borne largely due to the fact that they were not receiving the best of education, and more because protection from the unending problem of bullying in public schools was lacking. She soon realized that only a crucial intervention could save her family from falling apart, and it was a decision that proved timely because not only did she achieve her objectives, but she also ended up saving her community! She has helped many parents to transform their children from struggling students to homeschool high school graduates!This isn't the guide for how to homescool--it's the story of survival because of homeschool.

Life has blessed us with the freedom to soar. We must have the courage to risk, the faith to believe and the will to succeed. To discover and release what is eternally present within the consciousness of every human being, certain virtues ?and traits are required to be inculcated in life and understood. Virtues make person beautiful and lovely. The way they do things, the way they move, speak and dress, all these creats their personality. If a person has virtue, they will always look rich, for everything is close to them will be filled with quality. Every ambitious person's heart wants to soar to new heights. When silence and virtue live together in one person, there is perfection. Spread your wings, have a clear vision. Soar to new heights. Swoop down on opportunities. Make golden memories.

L'auteur, conférencier, étudie depuis quarante ans, les phénomènes inexpliqués. Il s'est initié seul, intuitivement, au magnétisme puis à la communication avec l'au-delà, depuis le printemps 1993. "Ma quête spirituelle m'a ouvert tant de portes nouvelles que j'ai choisi le format d'un abécédaire pour présenter ses multiples facettes. Je vis et je pratique une spiritualité naturelle offerte à tous ceux qui acceptent de s'interroger, de remettre en question leurs vieilles certitudes en les confrontant au filtre de l'intuition. J'ai usé et j'use toujours de ma médiumnité comme d'un outil privilégié de recherches. L'aventure intérieure m'a peu à peu mené vers les mathématiques puis la physique alors que ma formation ne m'y préparait pas. Ma spiritualité n'a pas seulement changé mes perceptions ; elle a bousculé mes certitudes fondées, le plus souvent, sur l'opinion d'un autre. Par elle et avec elle, ma relation aux autres a changé. Le travail sur soi, plus que le don, m'a peu à peu conduit, au fil des ans, à juguler et atténuer de plus en plus ces excès de l'ego que nous connaissons tous. Chaque lecteur pourra parcourir ce livre en suivant ses propres centres d'intérêt. S'il le souhaite, il pourra peut-être découvrir, au fil des mots choisis, un autre chemin offrant un regard neuf sur ce monde si mystérieux qui nous contient et nous entoure."

This book contains a selection of articles and pamphlets on analytical psychology written at intervals during the past fourteen years. These years have seen the development of a new discipline, and as is usual in such a case, have involved many changes of view-point, of concept, and of formulation.??It is not my intention to give a presentation of the fundamental concepts of analytical psychology in this book; it throws some light, however, on a certain line of development which is especially characteristic of the Zürich School of psychoanalysis.??As is well known, the merit of the discovery of the new analytical method of general psychology belongs to Professor Freud of Vienna. His original view-points had to undergo many essential modifications, some of them owing to the work done at Zürich, in spite of the fact that he himself is far from agreeing with the standpoint of this school.??I am unable to explain fully the fundamental differences between the two schools, but would indicate the following points: The Vienna School takes the standpoint of an exclusive sexualistic conception, while that of the Zürich School is symbolistic. The Vienna School interprets the psychological symbol semiotically, as a sign or token of certain primitive psychosexual processes. Its method is analytical and causal.??The Zurich School recognises the scientific feasibility of such a conception, but denies its exclusive validity, for it does not interpret the psychological symbol semiotically only, but also symbolistically, that is, it attributes a positive value to the symbol.??The value does not depend merely on historical causes; its chief importance lies in the fact that it has a meaning for the actual present, and for the future, in their psychological aspects. For to the Zürich School the symbol is not merely a sign of something repressed and concealed, but is at the same time an attempt to comprehend and to point out the way of the further psychological development of the individual. Thus we add a prospective import to the retrospective value of the symbol.??The method of the Zurich School is therefore not only analytical and causal, but also synthetic and prospective, in recognition that the human mind is characterised by "caus?" and also by "fines" (aims). The latter fact needs particular emphasis, because there are two types of psychology, the one following the principle of hedonism, and the other following the principle of power. Scientific materialism is pertinent to the former type, and the philosophy of Nietzsche to the latter. The principle of the Freudian theory is hedonism, while that of Adler (one of Freud's earliest personal pupils) is founded upon the principle of power.??The Zurich School, recognising the existence of these two types (also remarked by the late Professor William James), considers that the views of Freud and Adler are one-sided, and only valid within the limits of their corresponding type.??Freud and Adler interpret in the analytical and causal way, reducing to the infantile and primitive. Thus with Freud the conception of the "aim" is the fulfilment of desire, with Adler it is the usurpation of power. Both authors take the standpoint in their practical analytical work which brings to view only infantile and gross egoistic aims.??The Zurich School is convinced of the fact that within the limits of a diseased mental attitude the psychology is such as Freud and Adler describe. It is, indeed, just on account of such impossible and childish psychology that the individual is in a state of inward dissociation and hence neurotic. The Zürich School, therefore, in agreement with them so far, also reduces the psychological symbol (the phantasy products of the patient) to the fundamental infantile hedonism, or to the infantile desire for power. But Freud and Adler content themselves with the result of mere reduction, according to their scientific biologism and naturalism.

The following pages contain certain rules and suggestions concerning health, and certain simple and sensible ways in which it may, we hope, be acquired and maintained at a very small expense of time and self-denial, by a large number of people who are naturally accustomed to feel not very well. The book is founded on notes made by its two authors who, though they lead for the most part very different lives, are agreed on certain broad principles of health herein set forth. ??One of them, for instance, eats largely of flesh-foods every day, the other has scarcely touched meat for years. But both are accustomed to feel extremely well and to undertake considerable exertion either of mind or body without experiencing any fatigue. One of them takes regular exercise, that is to say he plays an out-door game on most days of his life, while the other who abstains from flesh-foods has little practice of the sort. He will take no out-of-door exercise for several days, work very hard, and find himself perfectly fit for some severe physical test at the end. But they are both agreed that if the one abandoned flesh-foods (which he does not propose to do) he would cease to require regular exercise, and that if the other took flesh-foods (which he does not propose to do) he would not only be very ill, but would also require regular exercise. ??One again is seldom seen without some appliance of tobacco in his mouth, because he finds it agreeable and after an experiment of abstinence from it found that it did not make any difference, as far as he could make out, in his general health. The other never smokes at all. One again takes a cold bath in the morning, the other a hot one followed by cold sponging.??But both are absolutely in accord on far more main points than those on which their practice, at any rate, differs, and they have found it perfectly easy to write this book together without wrangling, on which account they wish to express a pious hope that the very fact that they differ in so many things may have saved them from dogmatism. For it has helped them to realize that even when they are agreed on any point it would be a sheer stupidity to hint that they were therefore right, and in consequence they only put forward the points on which they are agreed as suggestions, hoping that others after trial may also agree with them. ??For universal laws on an empirical matter like health are rare, and the constitutions of men are various. One man’s meat, in fact, is literally another man’s poison. But in the main the two authors are agreed. They believe that the majority of mankind habitually eat too much and habitually take too much stimulating food and drink. They believe also that most people who do so do not take enough exercise, and that either an increase of exercise or a decrease of stimulant is needed. ??They believe that the best sorts of exercise are not those of slow pushing movements such as are made in the use of dumb-bells, but full brisk extended movements, with much use of the breathing apparatus and the large muscle areas of the body. Similarly they are in accord as regards present systems of training which tend to treat an entire crew or team as if they were identical specimens, not as widely different specimens; in every day life also they hold that because a certain mode of diet and work suits A, it will not necessarily suit B and C, though B and C might do worse than try it.

Ce este o traum?? Putem s? o identific?m dup? ce a trecut ?ocul? Care sunt semnele ce ar trebui s? ne alerteze ?n s?pt?m?nile ?i lunile care urmeaz?? Care este impactul asupra memoriei ?i somnului? Ce trebuie ?tiut despre tehnicile care permit dep??irea crizei, ?ncep?nd cu interven?ia imediat? ?i termin?nd cu terapiile de lung? durat??Acela?i eveniment poate fi o traum? pentru un individ, dar nu ?i pentru un altul, ?n func?ie de diferen?ele de personalitate, de nivelul de preg?tire, de energia de care dispune individul pentru a face fa?? traumelor ?i de sprijinul acordat de anturaj ?n acel moment. ?in?nd cont de aceste realit??i, autorul propune un tablou clinic al traumei ?n trei faze (imediat?, postimediat? ?i am?nat?-cronic?) ?i demonstreaz? c? trauma nu poate fi redus? la tulburarea de stres posttraumatic. El trateaz? particularit??ile tabloului clinic ?n cazuri specifice, cum ar fi acela al copilului, al femeii care a fost victima unui viol ?i al salvatorului expus unui eveniment poten?ial traumatizant. ?n ceea ce prive?te domeniul terapeutic, acesta este explorat din perspectiva rezilien?ei, a interven?iei psihologice imediate, postimediate ?i a tratamentului fazei cronice.

Procesul hipnotic este unul complex ?i variat ca tr?iri, care de-a lungul timpului ?i-a dovedit eficien?a ?n psihoterapie. Volumul de fa?? porne?te de la ideea c? hipnoza reprezint? o metod? adjuvant? cu caracter dinamic ?n contextul terapeutic. Caracteristicile legate de identificarea unui anume nivel de sugestibilitate, al?turi de manifest?rile tr?ite ?n stare de trans? vor avea ecou diferit, ?n func?ie de fiecare client, c?t ?i de situa?ia pe care acesta o aduce ?n cadrul terapeutic.Volumul "Hipnoza ?n psihoterapie" contribuie la literatura de specialitate cu rezultate ale unora dintre ultimele cercet?ri ?n domeniu, prezint? modele inedite de scenarii de induc?ie hipnotic? ?i de ad?ncire a transei, precum ?i studii de caz elocvente pentru o serie de tulbur?ri ?i de conjuncturi ?nt?lnite ?n cabinet. Este structurat ?ntr-o parte teoretic? ?i o parte practic?, av?nd numeroase exemple ce atest? aplicabilitatea hipnozei ?n multiple afec?iuni. Ca noutate, lucrarea de fa?? abordeaz? hipnoza ?n situa?ii precum na?terea, infertilitatea, dependen?ele, stima de sine sc?zut?, afec?iuni oncologice, tulbur?ri de stres postraumatic ?i nu numai. Volumul se adreseaz? ?n primul r?nd speciali?tilor ?i apoi publicului larg, cu inten?ia de a-l familiariza cu acest instrument de lucru activ ?n psihoterapie, care a fost ?i r?m?ne hipnoza.

Deseori, cei care solicit? ajutorul unui psihoterapeut nu sunt doar ?n c?utarea unor solu?ii pentru conflictele care ?i fr?m?nt?, ci simt c? au nevoie de un nou ?nceput pentru c? undeva, ?n interior, exist? un defect care trebuie reparat, un defect care a ap?rut ?n rela?iile cu ceilal?i. ?n Defectul fundamental, M. Balint ofer? at?t o descriere a personalit??ii umane ?n termeni rela?ionali, ?n care aceast? arie a defectului fundamental ??i are un loc definit de rela?iile bipersonale primare, c?t ?i o ilustrare a modalit??ii de a repara acest defect fundamental ?i de a oferi pacientului ?ansa unui nou ?nceput. Pentru autor, defectul fundamental reflect? consecin?ele actuale ale unor experien?e traumatice timpurii ?n rela?ia bipersonal? care pot fi retr?ite ?i vindecate pe cale analitic?, chiar dac? vindecarea las? o cicatrice. ?n abordarea sa, Balint recunoa?te importan?a aportului ambilor participan?i pentru rezultatul tratamentului ?i atrage aten?ia asupra contribu?iei terapeutului la desf??urarea procesului terapeutic. Pentru a crea atmosfera necesar? desf??ur?rii acestui proces, este necesar ca terapeutul s? fie flexibil emo?ional ?i s?-i permit? pacientului s? regreseze la nivelul defectului fundamental pentru a reveni, apoi, capabil s? aib? o rela?ie de obiect diferit?, mai matur?, cu cei din jur.
